Background
Career
As a junior, Robson played for York Acorn A.R.L.F.C. then signed for Super League side Castleford Tigers, with whom he made three first-team appearances in the 2015 season. His contract at Castleford was extended until the end of the 2017 season but a knee injury in a pre-season friendly caused him to miss the entire 2016 season. In January 2017 he signed a three-year deal with York City Knights in the Championship.[7]
He announced his retirement from rugby league in May 2022.[8]
